iPad 3G Hacked by MuscleNerd to Send SMS Messages

The iPad 3G has been jailbroken and torn apart in just a matter of days. Now it has been hacked by MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team to send SMS messages. Here’s what he had to say:

This was sent using a raw AT+CMGS command sent to the iPad baseband. That’s because so far, MobileSMS.app from the iPhone doesn’t run properly on the iPad.

This iPad is using a T-Mobile SIM cut down into microSIM size. The AT&T plan attached to the SIM that came with the iPad isn’t allowing SMS messages.

These are the early stages of hacking the iPad. It’s only a matter of time before some 3rd party developers will create a full fledged SMS app available for the iPad. Let the cat and mouse game continue!
